Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SCOOTY at none against WentLocal's shown. SCOOTY also leads on ratings volume (25 vs 1). WentLocal's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WentLocal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SCOOTY has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
